phulon ko sharmsar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
kanTon se hum ne pyar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
mauquf chaak-e-jeb-e-gareban hi par nahin
daman bhi tar-tar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
main muztarib raha hun ye sach hai firaq mein
un ko bhi be-qarar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
dil ka diya jala ke KHud apne hi KHun se
shab shab-bhar intizar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
tanha shab-e-firaq mein tar-e-nafas ke sath
taron ka bhi shumar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
aisa bhi waqt aaya hai aksar hayat mein
sar apna su-e-dar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
sayyaad mere tair-e-dil ne qafas ko bhi
nalon se pur-bahaar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
Ghazal
Phulon ko sharmsar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
Sayyad Zahiruddin Zaheer
